Mon, 05 May 2008 03:07:47 +0000http://tepapa.wordpress.com/?p=391#comment-769Hey thanks for replying back 🙂 It wasnt ME confused about there being three squid, lol (I watched the entire week)lol I was just making an observation that the way the video was made(edited) it might be confusing to SOME people that may have not realized there were actually three of them (and didnt get to watch the whole thing live). The first time some people watch the video, they may think it was the colossal thats going be displayed, as the one getting dissected, lol Other then that i loved watching it!! 🙂

Which one was the one you all tasted, the giant or the colossal?!

Sorry you were confused about the squid – yes there were 3 different squid. There was one Giant Squid (Architeuthis dux)and two Colossal Squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni).

Of the two Colossal Squid, there was a smaller, damaged specimen that was dissected. The large one caught last year in the Ross Sea was left intact for display.

Hope that helps.

Being a cameraman myself it was a double pleasure watching the technical side of the webcast and of course the behind the scenes view of the video crew at work. Well done every one and lets hope we can find a male species soon.

Fri, 02 May 2008 17:17:10 +0000http://tepapa.wordpress.com/?p=391#comment-766Well lets just say first of all, thanks for sharing ALL those links with us. I watched everyone of them and Loved watching/listening!!!! Incredible!!

Ok, in MY opinion, under “first videos” the second link down, i watched it 4 times and this is what i think! When you watch AND listen to it, the way its edited, it confuses people. People that didnt watch the whole thing happen live to know whats going on. It shows clips AND talks about the block of squid in the tank, shows it thawing etc…..tells all that you had to slowly peel it apart ect …..then, it shows the squid on the table, with the tube in it checking its stomach contents, then showing the fish that was in its stomach, then it shows it being sliced open and examined. Well, the way its shown, going back and forth, it looks as if its the colossal squid that thawed out, is the one that was cup open and examined. (i know that it wasnt, but does everybody)? If you watch it and listen to it, it talks about the thawing out colossal, then goes right to the table and shows one being cut open….its just done in a confusing way, just thought I’d point that out, I dont know why. i guess I want people to know that the one thawed out wasnt touched like that, its saved for display.

I guess because there were a few squid being worked on over the past few days, it got a little confusing. I myself am confused, lol Which squid was the one you all tasted …..the one that was caught in 2003 or anotherone that was caught recently, besides the one that was thawing out, lol

Oh well, at any rate I still loved watching and will continue too. Its all I talk about around the house anymore, lol My hubby and daughter think i’m crazy, lol
